Globally, communities are constantly responding and coping with risks due to climate and land-use land-cover change. In Southeast Asia, impacts from these changes are evident in hydro-meteorological hazards that are projected to increase in anomaly, frequency and magnitude. In response to these risks, the concept of climate-community resilience is widely applied in research and policy-making. Although previous studies have adopted index-based approaches, an over-simplified urban-rural dichotomy is perpetuated in visualization and disaster governance. This study thus aims to uncover how the geographic dynamics of urban-rural resilience can be assessed and represented as a continuous, uneven and active process. With drought as the hazard of concern, this study models resilience along the urban-rural continuum in Yangon, Myanmar. The results show that resilience is not dichotomous in form. Areas of high resilience are mostly located along boundaries of contiguous administrative towns, rather than abiding by the physical landscape morphology. It also depends on the intrinsic fabric of a community, that is, its degree of urbanism and ruralness. The study supports the usage of continuous representation in future resilience assessments for relatively urbanized and urbanizing regions. It encourages the conceptualization of disaster governance that considers the decentralization of resilient systems.

评估缅甸仰光大都市的城乡气候适应力

在全球范围内，社区不断响应和应对气候和土地利用土地覆盖变化带来的风险。在东南亚，这些变化的影响在水文气象灾害中很明显，预计异常、频率和幅度都会增加。为了应对这些风险，气候社区复原力的概念被广泛应用于研究和决策中。尽管之前的研究采用了基于指数的方法，但在可视化和灾害治理中，过度简化的城乡二分法仍然存在。因此，本研究旨在揭示如何评估城乡弹性的地理动态并将其表示为一个连续、不平衡和积极的过程。将干旱作为关注的危险，本研究模拟了缅甸仰光城乡连续体的复原力。结果表明，弹性在形式上不是二分的。高韧性区域大多位于相邻行政城镇的边界上，而不是遵循物理景观形态。它还取决于社区的内在结构，即城市化和乡村化的程度。该研究支持在未来相对城市化和城市化地区的复原力评估中使用连续代表性。它鼓励考虑弹性系统分散的灾害治理概念化。它的城市化和乡村化程度。该研究支持在未来相对城市化和城市化地区的复原力评估中使用连续代表性。它鼓励考虑弹性系统分散的灾害治理概念化。它的城市化和乡村化程度。该研究支持在未来相对城市化和城市化地区的复原力评估中使用连续代表性。它鼓励考虑弹性系统分散的灾害治理概念化。
